Our Most Prolific Bloomer

Grover Cleveland puts on a dazzling late mid-season display of rich ruby red blooms that deepen into the most intensely saturated magenta you have likely ever seen on a peony.

Once mature, this dramatic and generous plant produces 25 to 30 hardy stems carrying one main bloom and 3 to 4 side buds.

That fragrance is worth noting: vibrant and full, as alive as the color itself.

Fresh Roots Harvest in Fall

The Grover Cleveland 3/5 eye peony roots we offer trace directly back to the very roots that started ours. These peony roots come directly from the same small family-owned farm that we trusted to plant the Adoration Peony Garden from its earliest days.

The best time to harvest and plant peonies is in the fall. We ship our premium 3/5 eye peony roots to you, so you can plant them right away.

A Case of Mistaken Identify

If you've ever hear unflattering gossip about Grover Cleveland peonies, it is likely a case of mistaken identify!

The American Peony Society’s official registry for Grover Cleveland states, β€œThe variety we have under this name is most desirable red and a good bloomer.

There is another variety masquerading under this name.” β€” W.F. Crisman, American Peony Society.

The variety we offer is the real one.
